Living expenses

The biggest cost that you will have to meet while you are at university is likely to be your accommodation. At Leeds, we guarantee* university accommodation for your first year (subject to your application being received on time), where the price you pay includes rent, energy costs, insurance for your belongings, internet access, and membership of The Edge, our flagship gym and pool complex.

Your other expenses will include essentials such as food, transport and (in private accommodation) utility bills, as well as non-essential spending such as socialising. Leeds University Union has guidance about the typical cost of living for students in Leeds, including information on the cost of private rented accommodation, on its website.
